Don't you hate it how.....

[Emann]

Just add something that really ticks you off. Here's mine:

Geico continues to use their caveman advertisement campaign, oblivious to how annoying and horrible these commercials were to begin with.

[steel]

Did I mention I love you?

People honestly think that "anyways" is a word. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

The other huge one is the huge fad of mispronouncing "often." It is not "OFF-tehn," it is "OFF-ehn."

[coasterman1234]

I despise it when I hear The *insert ride name here*. They are not meant to be called The Raptor (for instance).

[SkierGirl77]

I hate it when people say something will be ready on a certain day and it is not until a week later.

[steel]

^^Unless, of course, "The" is in the name (eg. The Voyage, The Beast, The Big Bad Wolf, etc.).

[coasterman1234]

^That's what I tell my dad (who is notorious for calling things The) I tell him if it's in the logo he can say it. lol.

I hate it when people are bored at their computers and after checking their email, myspace and thrillnetwork 20 times they decide to create a new pointless thread in the message board games section about the things they think about in their spare time and then include a catchy title to get my attention, therefore causing me to post and fuel the fire that will eventually give me an anneurism.

[steel]

I hate it when you tell someone that it gets you really mad when people don't listen to you and they say "What? I wasn't listening" in complete jest. That's so low. Obviously, I'm not going to think it's funny, because I just said that it makes me really mad. That's like making fun of me without actually making fun of me.

[epijlh]

I hate people that are bias to the point of making up their minds before a question was even presented to them.


I was bumped down from Varsity soccer after playing in it for two years to make room for the coach's son and nephew, both of whom are freshmen with absolutly no talent whatsoever. Bias? Maybe.

[DemonHunter4337]

I hate it when you and some other people are having a nice conversation and some idiot comes up and starts stuff for no reason.

[89magnumxl200]

I hate it when people don't pronounce H's. For example, it's Huge, not yuge.

[steel]

^^OMG, that's the WORST! There's a kid at my school who thinks people like it when he does that! Ugh, it drives me totally insane.

My grandpa, who lives with us, always does that. I've never even thought about it till now. Thanks for the heads up!

^That would put him what...about in his 60s...about my Dad's age. Doesn't surprise me.

My peeve: how the government (local, national, state) will find ANY reason to raise gas and/or taxes.

[steel]

How about when you watch Sea World Revealed (or whatever it's called) on the Travel Channel, and it clearly says that they're going to talk about all the thrill rides, they show footage of Kraken and Journey to Atlantis, and they end up spending about five minutes talking about how Kraken is scary.

[89magnumxl200]

Don't you hate it when you receive a gift card to a store that you absolutely despise, and have never expressed any interest whatsoever in purchasing any of their crap? I would rather not support any proprieter of douchebaggery who feels the need to brand their products. Seriously, cash is perfectly fine; heck, an actual pile of crap would be better than the gift card, at least I'd get a laugh out of that.

[Andrew P]

^So what you do in that case is to buy a gift for the person that gave you a gift card to that store.

Problem solved.

[steel]

^But then you would have to, as 89magnumxl200 so skillfully put it, "purchase their crap." And that sort of defeats the purpose of not going to the store in question.

[coastergeek25]

^I have seen gift cards sold at hotels instead of that paticular store so the problem is still there

I hate it when I have to wake up in the morning for school. When I get mad I have to break at least something. So I broke my tooth brush 2 days ago.

What's your address? I have a gift I'd like to send you. You'll like it better than a gift card, too.

I hate it when someone goes back and revives a wretched thread that has been dormant for months. Like "Three Word Story." What's next- a new post in "Should Marching Band be considered a Sport?"

Just give them the gift card back as a gift.

That thread is closed, isn't it?

[Brian F]

^ If the thread were still open I would NEVER have done anything to possibly make people think of it.

It's not a fad... it's all based on your dialect. At one time, pronouncing wit the T was commonplace, then it fell off, and now it's coming back, but has been doing so longer than you've been alive .

Lastly, if it's in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it's right.

So, I hate it how they assume things are wrong just because they do things their own way.

That makes sense, but I'm still wondering why this one got closed too.

^Don't you hate how we moderate without reason??


I hate it when I work with people that know the specifications to complete an order and are still clueless three days into it. Hey, that sounds like something I could blog about. Unfortunately, the language used would only be accepted on MySpace and not on this family site.

Who cares if he brought an old thread back? This is the freaking games section it ought to be understood that these threads will be brought back.

[Andrew P]

^Don't you hate it how people bring back old threads when they are bored?

Oh wait, my mistake, when they are "board"?

[VekomahangNbang]

^Don't you hate it when people make stupid puns that are not even funny?

[coastergeek25]

don't you hate it when people use too many abbreviations? And some you don't know?

[coastergeek25]

don't you hate it when you pour some cereal in to a bowl, go to the refrigerator, and find out you have no milk.
